Managed with the rest of your Sophos estate
Run it in Sophos Fusion with your Sophos switches and firewall. Active Threat Response can isolate a compromised device across switches and access points.
What is included
- The Sophos AP6 420 access point, US version, with a limited lifetime warranty (lifetime ends at the Sophos End-of-Life date for the model).
- Mounting: desktop, wall or ceiling (bracket included).
- No power adapter or PoE injector in the box. Power it from a 802.3at (PoE+) switch port or injector. A 12V DC supply is available separately.
- Sophos Fusion management: Sophos requires an active Support and Services subscription to manage AP6 access points in Sophos Fusion. Local management of a single access point does not need one.

- 24/7 phone support from Sophos.
Power check: plan 17.5W of 802.3at PoE+ per AP6 420 at the switch. Any Sophos PoE switch supplies it, for example the Sophos CS110-24FP (410W budget).
